 Palm Zire Reviews. PDAs Reviews by CNET.
Palm's latest entry into the handheld race is a budget PDA that's earmarked for the tech neophyte.

Some people like combined units strictly because it saves carrying two units around, which is one benefit, but the fact is that there is significant functionality improvements caused by the marrying of these two products that would not be present if they were separate.
Once the unit is charged you can turn it on and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the screen and familiarize yourself with the data input methods on the Palm.
As with other Palm units running OS 5 there is compatibility with older applications to some extent but certain things that were previously possible on older Palms no longer work right and there are some new things that would never have worked on older Palms.

 News - Palm's Secret Business Unit Will Be Revealed Next Year - PalmZone.net
That business unit has been focused on a new class of mobile computing device that is neither a PDA or a smartphone.
Other than Palm and Apple, though, there aren't a lot of companies that are both willing to experiment in new categories of mobile hardware and capable of creating full hardware-software solutions, as opposed to just tossing a hunk of hardware out there.
Palm obviously already has the LifeDrive with a big hard drive in it, Wi-Fi technology in the Palm TX, and 3G data connection in the Treo 750v.

Overall, both units use a 33Mhz Dragonball Vz processor (like the Visor Platinum and Visor Edge), Palm OS 4.0 (new palm OS!), 8 Megs of RAM and 4 Megs of Flash memory.
None of the Palm V or Vx devices are compatible with the m500 and m505.
I would also suggest looking at the old TRG Pro makers (they changed their name) since they are producing an excellent unit for $399 with a higher resolution screen and two SD slots on the unit.

The programs included on the Palm OS seemed to work well and didn’t cause me any problems however they are not going to cut it for even the average computer users.
The Palm Desktop, which allows the transfer of files and data between a stand alone computer and the palm unit, was efficient and easy to use.
Thus, I don’t use the palm much anymore, because of the annoying problem of not being able to touch certain dialog boxes and areas of the screen.
